~ RETURNS FROM
"SALISBURY

Because of Surplus of Officers
Now There---Will Return
With Second Contingent---
Looks Hale and Hearty.

Lieut. E. C. Danielz, ex-mayor of
Redcliff, has just returned from Salis-
bury Plains where he had been in
training with the first Canadian con-
tingent, and spent a few days in town
this week. Mr. Danielz, with 50
other Canadian officers, have . re-
turned to Canada as there was a
surplus of officers accompanied the
first contingent. It is their intention
to return with the second’ contingent
and already Mr. Danielz joined the
Winnipeg regiment. In conversation
with him yesterday he told us that he
was going to try/to get on the mount-
ed staff. He heard on reliable au-
thority that it was the intention of the
war department to send the Canadian
mounted men to Egypt.

Mr. Danielz has many interesting
experiences to relate during his term
of training both at. Valcartier and in
the country, He is fooking ‘hale and
hearty and has gained ten pounds
since he. joined the foreés. Mr. Dan-
jelz says things are going on much
as usual in the old country, and that
up till the bombardment on the Eng-
lish coast the general public did not
‘seem to realize the seriousness ef the
situation. In parts of England, how~
ever, soldiers and camps are seen on
all sides. Kitchener's first army of
1,000,000 men is at preserit Feady for
action and mobilization for the second
million is well under way. He says
it is the intention of the Tllies to
have 6,000,000 new men ready to go
into the field on the first of June, It
is estimated at the present time, Mr.
Danelz says, that the Germans have
abou! 4 80, cd nen in the field aid the
Allies have about 4,200,000. Up to
date it is estimated that the Germans
have lost over a million and a quarter

|LAYMEN TO MAKE

RELIGIOUS CANVAS
Committee Appointed ‘to Call
on Every Home and Learn
to What Church They
Belong---Part of Laymen’s
Movement.

/

‘

A meeting of representatives of the
various churches in town was held
Wednesda evening in the Presbyter-
jan church under the auspices of this
movement. Frankly the brethern
told each other their plans and aspir-
ations in-reference to a religious can-
vass of the town. It was agreed that
such a canvass should be begun next
Monday and completed inside of the
week, Two visitors are appointed by
each denomination and these will call

at the several homes of the town,

omitting those they know to belong
to another denomination. As the
town is new and the connections of
each areslargely unknown, there will
be considerable overlapping invisiting
but one is always pleased to have a
call from one’s neighbor. The desire
of the visitors is that no one should
be dyerlooked, and that each person
in town should have a hearty invita-
tion to attend religious services in
some church. The visitors are in-

‘structed to inform each concerning

the services of his own denomina-
Jon, if such are in town.

New Club formed
Will Give A Dance

A new club, which will be known
as the Red Rose club, has been formed

in town by the ladies of the. south end.
The idea of the club is to have good

„

‘old time sociable evenings during the
winter months. The club will cele-

brate its opening by ginving a free
dance in Maple hall on Monday, Jan.
4th. Mr. Pickering has kindly given.
the hall free for the èvening. Every-

is invited to this dance and th
ladies are asked to each bring @ cake.
The members extend an invitation to
all to be present. 8

‘BY AUSTRIANS'|

Chief Police Gets Letter Say
ing Public Buildings Will
be Blown up and Citizens
Massacred.

Medicine Hat seems to be hanging
under the war cloud these days be-
cause of the receipt of several an-
onymous letters to Chief Bruce.
These letters contain the information
that it is the intention of a number of
Austrians to blow up the city hall,
the post office and the station and
also massacre a number of the lead-
ing citizens. According to these let-
ters the Austrians are 200 strong and
are coming into the city by autos,
This distruction was to have started
on Christmas day but as nothing out
of the ordinary has as yet happened
their plans must have miscarried.”

To add color to these letters it is
stated that a number of. strange Aus-
trians have been hanging around the |
city lately. They appear to have lots |

of money and are spending it freely |
in the bars with their kinsfolk.

Union Service Sunday
Was Well Attended

Notwithstanding: the breeze and
drift there was a good attendance at
the union service’. in ‘the Empress
Theatre last Sunday afternoon. The
hymns were sung with great hearti-
ness. Mr, Wm. Ardinger led in the
first prayer and] Rev. Mr. Gordon in
the second. Rev. R. V. Hinkle, in an
interesting and instructive way, spoke
‘of the gifts of the Magi to the Holy
Infant; gold signifying wealth; frank-

„ Woiphip; “and “imyrth, Saeri-
fice; and he showed how we in our ad-
oration of Jesus are to bring Him
these three, any one of which without

the others would be of little value.

British Government
The United States government dis-
patched a long note to Great Britain
insisting upon an early improvement
in the treatment of American com-
merce by the British fleet. It gave
warning that much feeling had been
aroused in the country and that pub-
lic criticism was general over unwar-
foreign trade : Staes.
Ce eg ae
strongest representations on this sub-
ject made by the United States to any
of the belligerents since the outbreak
of the war, was cabled to Ambassador
Page to be formally presented to Sir
Edward Grey, the British foreign sec-
retary. Its preparations was begun
a month ago by Solocitor Cone John-
son, Counsellor Robert Lansing and

the last two weeks had the personal
attention of President Wilson himself,
who revised its phraseology with min-
ute care. : :

Christmas Was Well
Observed in Redcliff

Although times have been compari-
tively dul! for many reasons for the
past few months, it did not interfere
with the Christmas festivities and the
Christmas spirit having full swing in
Redcliff, Thanks to the liberality
and thoughtfulness of a number of our
citizens Santa Claus was able to
make his annual rounds here and as a
result many homes were made happy.
The subscription list started last week
resulted jn the raising of 178.50. This
fund was used for providing toys and
eatables for those who might gther-

Christmas Tree

e Rev. Mr. Gordon followed and
spoke of the Christmas call

to joy, to seriousness, and to consecra-
toin to the cause of Him who sacrificed
80 much for us. The Rev. Mr. Gibson
had expected to address the fathering
but was prevented from attending.
The chair was occupied by Mr. J. W.
Ausman, president of the Union Bible
Class. The service was inspiring and
greatly appreciated. 5

Church of England:

The Church of England Sunday
schools held their Christmas Tred
last Tuesday evening in the Parish
hall. The room was packed with happy
children. The proceedings started
with a sit down tea which was much

appreciated; after the tables, kindly |

lent by Mr Broadfoot, had been
cleared away Santa Claus arrived and
entered the room in his fine regalia
and after wishing the children best
Christmas wishes, started to hand
out presents to each child from the
heavily laden Christmas tree, Spec-
ial prizes were also given for the best
attendance in each class. After the
prize giving a lady kindly offered a
prize for the best song, ‘and another
for the best recitation. There were
many compeditors and the prizes were
finally awarded to two of the young-
est aspirants, who did very well. A
very happy time was brought to a
close by the singing of the Christmas
hymn, “While Shephards Watch their
Flocks at Night,” and the three verses:
of the national anthem,, Much thanks
is due to the. ladies who arranged
everything sé admirably, to Santa
Claus for his welcome visit and to all
who go kindly helped towards the suc-
cess of the evening.

é BRITISH ce

According to the new natur-
alization act passed by the Im-
perial parliament it will now be
possible for any person who is a
citizen of Canada and who has
„lived five out of eight years im-
~ | mediately preceding his ap, lica-
tion, to become a citizen of che
United Kingdom and of the Brit-
ish empire. This is a good
move, and although it has taken
a long time to pursuade the Brit-
ish authorities that the full
rights of, British citizenship
should be extended to anyone
who is a citizen of any part of
the Empire, it has come at last.
Under the old law those natural-
ized in Canada did not ‘enjoy the
full privilege of British citizen-
ship and as a result many of our
leading citizens were barred
from that privilege. Among
those were such men as Hon.
George Perley, a member of the
Borden government, Sir Thomas
Shaughnessy, and Sir William
Van Horne. All three of these
gentlemen were mentioned as
successors to the late Lord
Strathcona but could not qualify
as they were not British citizens,
having been born in the United
States.

The- Canadian people will ap-
preciate the new law which al-
lows any man to whom their gov-
ernment gives the right of citiz-
enship becoming a British citiz-
en in the fullest sense of the
word.

NEW YEARS. RESOLUTIONS

We are told that when à mar-
iner has been, tossed for many
days in thick weather and on an
unknown sea, he naturally avails
himself of the first pause in the

ait, Storm, the earliest glance of the
sun to take his latitude and as-
certain how far the elements
have driven him from his true
5 course. Following this custom,
i it would be well if those of us
who are travelling this great sea
of life, would pause occasionally
and examine our charts to see
how far we have gone out of our

1 proper course.

There is no better time to
make examination than now at
the close of the old year when
we can look back over the past

a twelve months and review our
— 9 acts, our accomplishments, our

5 thoughts, our words and our

_ ideals, and see whether or not we

85 have steéred our own little craft

l straight along the course we

mapped out at the beginning of

1914. It would not be natural

nor the age for discouragement

PEACE CENTENARY POSTPONED
The British committee con-
nected with the celebration of
the centenary of peace be-
tween the United States and
Great Britain, made public a
manifesto “expressing regret.
that singe the city of Ghent
where the treaty of peace was
signed, was occupied by the Ger-
mans, it will be necessary to
postpone the celebration until
the European war has ended.
The manifesto expresses the
hope that the unarmed frontier
between the United States and
Canada may long continue as an
example to the world of the safe
defence of mutual respect and
trust, in the affairs of nations.
In an editorial commenting re-
gretfully on the necessity of
postponing the celebration of
„ the peace centenary marking
one hundred years of peace be-
tween the English speaking na-
tions, the Times expresses the
nation’s gratitude to America
for material proofs of sympathy
and affection, and for the work
done fer victims of the war. The

THE BREEDER’S chat

It's an ill wind that blows: no-
body any good. One result of
the present war is the tremenous
demand in Europe for horses
bred on this continent, Repre-
sentatives of the British and
French governments are scour-
ing America for horseflesh and
the advance guard of the French
buyers has already reached a
point as far west as Spokane.

Canadian remount commis-
sioners are buying in both edst
and west and the country will be
largely denuded of horses.
Horseflesh will be dear for a
decade if this war lasts as long
as we think it will. There is
therefore a splendid chance for
the Alberta horsebreeders to
make hay while the sun shines.

LOCOMOTIVE INDUSTRY
IN UNITED STATES

Serious Dapricsion 10 in This Trade
The Wilson Tariff Siamed For
Decline

The Baldwin Locomotive Works in
Philadelphia is probably one of the
best known Industries in the world.
Byery one will be interested to know,
therefore, ut thé present depression,
eéupled with the reductions announced
in the Wilson Tariff in the United
States, has caused a slowing down
in these vast works.

Root of the Stagnation

Mr. Samuel D. Vauclain, Vice

President of the Baldwin Locomotive

Works, in an address deliveréd before |

the Annual Convention ot the Master
Boller Makers“ Association and the
Boller Makers’ Supply Men's Associa-
tion, on May 28th, sald that the new
and greatly reduced tariff lay at the
root of the present stagnation of
business, and if this be carried to its
Umits, manufacturers ot the United
States will have no alternative but
to cut employes’ wages and to sink
them to the low Buropean levels.
Mr. Vauclain, who has made a
special study of labor eonditions
abroad, said the average weekly wage
of boiler makers in France is $6.20,
while in the Baldwin Works, the week-
ly average is $16.50. The French
product is just as well made as the
American, he said. Six months ago,
Mr, Vauclain said, the Baldwin works,
had 18,500 men on its payroll. At
present, 12,000 of these are. looking

for jobs.

Working Staff Reduced

A twothird reduction in the work-
ing staff ol a huge plant such as this
is well calculated to make all thought
ful men reflect on the wisdom of al-
terations in a trade policy, under
which for nearly fifty years an un-
paralleled record for extension in in-

AID 10 WOOL GROWERS

How the Dominion Department of Ag-
riculture is Helping Wool industry

Hitherto, Canadian wool has graded
very low in comparison with wools
from other countries through careléss
methods of shearing, shipping and
sorting. The poor quality of Canadian
wool has resulted in low prices to
Canadian wool growers, and the Can-
adian woollen manufacturer has been
forced to purchase some portion of
his wool supplies abroad because he’
was unable to get the proper quality
in Canada.

“According to the ‘Canadian Textile
2 . graders are being sup-

and pack wool only and endeavor ta
see that it reaches dealers in the. con-
dition they, graded it, but in no way

growers, This should provide a means:
of stimulating breeders to take greater
interest in the preparation of a clean
product, for it is definitel. understood
that wool graded under the auspices
of the branc’ will be severely, and
/ impartially, treated. 3

“In the announcement of this polig;

filled with chaff and ‘straw will be
discarded to the rejection class and
the sacks
Western range wool wi!l be ceparated
for quality into three grades: fine,
medium and low, and into combing
and clothing lengths. Five grades will
‘be made of the Eastern wool and wool
of a.medium character raised on the
small farms in the West. Washed
and.upwashed will be carefully desig-

| mated. Associations are now being

formed for this purpose and much in-
terest is already being awakened
amongst farmers’ throughout the en-
tire Dominion. A uniformly graded
wool will act equally as a boon to
growers, dealers and manufacturers
‘and may serve as the beginning of

‘a rather greater appreciation of the

real character of Canadian wools,
“Canadian manufacturers should en-
dorse and encourage thes* efforts be-
cause any good accomplished will
work to their benefit. They are able
to give valuable assistance to the men
who are carrying on the work in the
way of. information as to the best

‘grades of woo] for the industry here

and by pointing out the defects and
suggesting remedies.”

At present the Canadian woollen
fnddstry I in a depressed condition,
owing chfefly to the general trade
depression, and also to the huge im.

ports of British wooll-ns which are | =

enabled to come into Canada freely
under the low duties of the British
preference. When business is de-
pressed all over the world the British
manufacturer finds Canada one of the
easiest markets da which to dump his
gurplus product, and the result lu that
_while there ig less trade than ever
“to be shared by the Canadian and
British woollen manufacturers the
Canadian manufacturer loses a great-
er proportion than usual of what is
going through the low prices which
the British manufacturer is able to
quote vy reason of his low labor and
factory costs:

In addition to the wine measures
which. the Government is taking for
the promotion’ of the sheep industry,
it seems reasonable that some, change
will have to be made wheréby the
Canadian woollen manufacturer will
be assyred of a greater percentage
of the Canadian market for his pro-
duct than he now has. If such a poliey
was adopted the Canadian manufac-
turer would purchase’ still larger’
quantities ‘of Canadian wools, and
